How it works in United Arab Emirates

Nexus Pay is a crypto wallet with a Visa card. You fund the account in crypto, move the amount to the card, and pay anywhere Visa is accepted — from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.

In the UAE payments settle in dirhams: thanks to the long-standing dollar peg, the conversion rate from USDT barely shifts. ATMs dispense cash the same way.
